'Merry Freaking Christmas': CNN's John Berman on Trump Pardons
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/24/2020 6:09:34 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

If there's one religion in America that the liberal media sees as fair game for mockery and disrespect, it's Christianity. And so it was that on CNN's New Day this morning, co-host John Berman felt free to say:

"Merry Freaking Christmas."

Berman did so for the purpose of scoring a cheap political point about President Trump's pardons. His notion was that, given the continuing wrangling over the Covid relief package, the unemployed and members of the armed services are unsure of when their relief or pay raises will be coming. But for those receiving pardons from the president . . . "Merry Freaking Christmas."

On a personal note: as per a CNN story, Berman is Jewish, as am I. It is particularly embarrassing and shameful to me that a fellow Jew would make such a vulgar and disrespectful comment.

I apologize on behalf of all Jews, and to all who celebrate, wish a Very Merry Christmas.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Thank you, sir.

My pastor is a Jewish convert to Christianity and he’s as conservative as they come.

Openly carries and plays lead guitar in the church band.

Wouldn’t break anyone’s heart if they just “disappeared” from the face of the planet. No one know where, how, when etc.....just gone. Kinda like old Jimmy Hoffa.

“Always found berman to be a bit of a snotty little weasel.”

Agreed: along with CNN’s Jon Avlon, he is a master of the snotty little shots.

Thank you for your comment.

On a side note, I moved to Scottsdale, AZ. seven years ago. In looking for a good barber, I went to five different shops, before settling on 'Boris', who is Jewish (as were each of the other barbers at every shop I went to.

I've been going to Boris for over five years now and we have many interesting political chats(He also is a conservative). He and I agree on one thing in particular:

Neither of us understand why Jews vote Democrat in such overwhelming numbers.

Thanks, Michael.

Yes, that’s a frustration for me. And it’s made me a black sheep in certain parts of my family!

I think traditionally Jews in America were located in big cities and those folks tend to be Democrats. Some cultural habits are difficult to break.

I don't remember the news media having a problem with Bill Clinton's pardons before he left office.
